Location scouting



Two residents of the farm

I have had one shoot for the online fashion retailer and I have started to discuss other locations for more shoots.
Click here for the post.

There are two types of shot we need. Number one is to show the clothes at their best, with and without a model. We'll need a plain area, white background, and slightly higher ceilings. It doesn't always have to be studio. I doubt it will be convenient for me be involved every time a new picture is needed. I'll talk to them about how they could improve the day to day pictures they use.

The second is more location based like the one a couple of weeks back. They are the type I like to most. With spring on the way I'll be looking for a park with early flowers blooming.

A friend of mine has moved to a farm. Although the only animals are horses. I thought it would be a great place to base a photoshoot. There is one planned at the end of the month. The mixture of open pasture, trees and shrubs and the stable block will give plenty of scope.

I took some pictures while I was there. David is very comfortable in front of the camera, so I included him in the shoot.




And the horses.



It wasn't just stables though. An old freight container had to be investigated.



I have used a park with gym machines and a tennis court. This will be a great place for sports clothing.

I have a shoot in London along the Thames tomorrow. I know the area quite well and street view comes in very handy for planning where we need to go.
Check back to see and read how that goes.

  1. Good location for photography, Dave's place. Like that old container. Also, what about National Trust properties? Sheffield Park, Wakehurst Place? There's a few nearby. Problem is admission costs, but worth considering membership. Dave's looking very landed gentry I must say!

  2. Yes David certainly looks the part. I have shot at Hever Castle. But the admission really is expensive. I'll look at the places you mention.
